We had some challenging conditions for our flight which meant that our departure actually got cancelled. The team worked hard to rebook everyone onto flights later on in the day though, and so we did end up heading out a few hours later. The whole experience was fab - everybody in the plane gets a window seat, and the pilot (Alex) worked hard to make sure that we spent equal amounts of time circling around our whale sighting on both the left and the right sides. The team are in constant contact with other flights and the whale watching boats, and even time the individual flights with when they think will be the optimum time to spend with a whale based on the area they’re in, and how long (on average) that particular whale dives for. Overall, I’d highly recommend this - such a special way to be able to experience whale watching which you don’t get elsewhere in the world, and allows you much greater opportunity to see the full scale of the animal (from above).

We were luckily able to spot one and only whale right after take off. And also able to spot school of dolphins. What I like is I don't get sea sick and fast, saving my time for other activities. Overall great experience!

Awesome experience. The team kindly offered me to get on an earlier flight than my original booking to work around the timing of a whale. Lucky enough to see a whale on the flight. Good crew, super nice. Will be coming back.

All of the staff we interacted with were so kind and friendly. You could tell they genuinely wanted us to have a good experience and see a whale. They had us wait for a bit before going on our flight based on the whales diving patterns to give us the best chance at seeing one and the wait was worth it!
